Jewel-Like the immortaldoes not boast of its length of yearsbut of the scintillating point of the moment.
Rabindranath Tagore
Poems On Time The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth. Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.
Rabindranath Tagore
Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth.
Rabindranath Tagore
And, indeed, what little of beauty and peace is to be found in the societies of men is owing to the daily performance of small duties, not to big doings and fine talk.
Rabindranath Tagore
My eyes have seen much, but they are not weary. My ears have heard much, but they thirst for more.
Rabindranath Tagore
Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.
Rabindranath Tagore
Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.
Rabindranath Tagore
Art awakens a sense of real by establishing an intimate relationship between our inner being and the universe at large, bringing us a consciousness of deep joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
Boasting is only a masked shame it does not truly believe in itself.
Rabindranath Tagore
The truth comes as conqueror only because we have lost the art of receiving it as guest.
Rabindranath Tagore
I do not love him because he is good, but because he is my child.
Rabindranath Tagore
If you want to know India, study Vivekananda. In him everything is positive and nothing negative.
Rabindranath Tagore
... let us unite, not in spite of our differences, but through them. For differences can never be wiped away, and life would be so much the poorer without them. Let all human races keep their own personalities, and yet come together, not in a uniformity that is dead, but in a unity that is living.
Rabindranath Tagore
Thou hast brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger.
Rabindranath Tagore
No civilized society can thrive upon victims, whose humanity has been permanently mutilated.
Rabindranath Tagore
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.
Rabindranath Tagore
When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable.
Rabindranath Tagore
The delights of sight and hearing and touch will bear thy delight.
Rabindranath Tagore
Great calm, generous detachment, selfless love, disinterested effort: these are what make for success in life. If you can find peace in yourself and can spread comfort around you, you will be happier than an empress.
Rabindranath Tagore
The world speaks to me in colors, my soul answers in music.
Rabindranath Tagore
